I Feel Like I’m Keeping a Secret

The healing powers of the oil of oregano.

My youngest just turned eight months and since the end of my maternity leave (which was 13 beautiful weeks short), I started taking small doses of oil of oregano. This whole time–is how long I have gone without being sick. Like, at all.

Since the first day back to the office, I’ve been hearing people hacking up their lungs and my little ones have picked up things, too. But me? So far, I’m still standing strong. The extent of a “sickness” stops at a slight sore throat (which alerts me to take a dose) or a stuffy nose. That. Is. it.

And how is this possible?

Here’s the Secret

Because of this amazing liquid gold called oil of oregano. Or Carvacrol. This stuff is antimicrobial, antiviral, antifungal, and so much more!

(Keep in mind, I am not a medical professional by any means so definitely consult with your higher power.)

When I take a shot or a capsule I am helping my body fight off all the icky bugs and helping my body defend against a host of illnesses. There are so many incredible benefits!

Just a few to list here:

Fights bacteria

Treats fungal infections

Acts as an antioxidant

Reduces inflammation

Repels insects

Aids weight loss

etc…

Doses can be taken by capsule or liquid. If the latter, add a little water and just shoot it back. (Don’t swish it in your mouth. Trust me.)

I am thrilled to be able to keep myself as well as possible so I can care for my little family.

Playing outside in the fresh air.

Looking out for the kiddos, too.

I am also working on getting my kiddos the best supplements that aid a strong immune system among other things. It’s a trial-and-error adventure right now. Not all of them like all of the things we have for them.

Gummy vitamins and a few other things will have to do for now. (Taking baby steps to get them there. More on that later.)

Something I’ve just recently started doing is mixing the oil of oregano with a base (I use a lotion) and lather unto my babies’ feet and then put socks on at night. (Wouldn’t hurt to try that on myself sometime).

I’ll let you know how that goes …

But I am here to tell you that if oil of oregano works so well for mom I have to share with my friends!

We get ours from the Herb Shop in town. The lady that owns the store is so helpful and kind.

Let me know (in the comments below!) if you tried it and it works for you!!

Grace + Common Sense

This world is crazy and if I pay too much attention to it I will lose heart and mind. So what to do? Lavishly sprinkle grace and common sense unto everything: motherhood, spiritual and mental health, wellness, fitness. Life.

Common sense is a luxury… and grace is often withheld where it could be poured out. Thankfully, we have such THE Perfect Example to follow.

This is what my blog is all about.
